' J. G. KING PASSENGER IDENTIFI CATION DEVICE Filed May 22, 1923 Patented June 16, 1925,
JOHN G. KING, OF MORRISTOWN, NEW JERSEY.
PASSENGER-IDENTIFICATION DEVICE.
Application filed `May 22,
To all whom, t 'mf/,y concern.'
Be it known that I, Jol-1N G. KING, a
citizen of the United States, and a resident of li/Iorristown, county of Morris, and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pas senger-Identilication Devices, of which the following is a specification.
. This invention relates to an improved device for identifying passengers in a conveyance, such. as a railway car, and is adaptN ed to be used by the conductor when he takes upthe tickets, by marking on a destination insignia of a ticket so that the passenger need not be repeatedly requested to show his ticket.
The invention relates further to a means for carrying the ticket so that it relates to respective passengers in a seat, the usual two-passenger seat of a car having a ticket with right and left divisions to identify these right and left passengers;
The invention is illustrated in the accom-m panying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the back of a car seat witlithe device in place. Figure 2 is a detail face view of a ticket illustrating` my invention, and Figure 3 is a side veiw thereof with one end of the ticket in section. Figure 4 is a view of a modified form of stud. Figures 5 and G are a face and side view, respectively, of a modified form of holder with a ticket thereon.
In the drawing- I show the device as applied to a railway car seat for two passengers, and the ticket is secured to the upper edge of the back 10 of the seat and refers to the passengers in the seat neXt in rear. This disposition can be changed to meet conditions. Y
The ticket 1l is held so that it can be written on, the conductor when he takes up the passengers ticket marking on the face of the ticket the passengers. destination. The destination insignia is printed on the face of the ticket and can he in the form of numerals designating stations in the trains run. The tiket illustrated in the 1923. Serial No. 640,695.
drawing refers to two passengers, and l show the ticket as filled out for one, the f passenger in the left hand side of the seat. Assuming the train starting at New York, if the passenge-i"s ticket carries him to Philadelphia and the seventh station is Philadelphia, the conductor marks the 7 of the numeral insignia in any prescribed way, for instance, by initialing.;` as at 12.
The tickets 11 are placed in the device before the train leaves, or they can be inserted by the conductor, the former being' preferred as it saves time in collecting'. The ticket is held so that it can be written on easily, being?,` reenforced and firmly held, in one instance, as in Figures 1, 2 and 3, by the upper edge ofm the hack of the seat itself. The ticket is readily attached and dctached, and for this' purpose l may use studs 13 which are driven or screwed into the back 1() and project slightly above the upper surface thereof so that the ends of the ticket can be slipped under the heads lfl. T he tickets have slotsfl to receive the studs 13 to prevent lateral movement of the tickets. A modified form of stud is shown in Fig-ure el, in which the head 16 is recessed at 17 to receive the slot 15 of a ticket.y
The ticket may have the dividing,` line 18 or an equivalent mark to separate the insignia markings. Then the passenger identified by the initialinp,- 12 leaves the train and another passenger occupies it, getting; on at the station indicated by 7, say Philadelphia, and the second passenger has a ticket to Baltimore, indicated by let, for instance, then the conductor marks 14 with his initials or other mark 19. The ticket shown in Figure 2 indicates that the right hand side of the seat was unoccupied. v
'In case the upper part of the seat of the car is too soft to provide a solid backing; to permit comfortable writingon the ticket, I may provide a plate 20 which is adapted to be secured by suitable means, such as the screws 21, to the back of the seat, the ticket 11 being placed. on the plate Pix-'relai orifice; f l
2O and having the slotted ends slipped under the heads 22 of the studs 23 on the plate 20.
I claim:
1. A passenger identification device cornpiising a plate, a ticket with slotted ends, and headed studs securing the plate to a support and also adapted t0 receive said slotted ends and hold the ticket Hat on the plate.
2. In a device of the kind described comprising a backing plate, a ticket with slots in opposite edges, and headed studs to hold. the plate permanently on a support and to hold the ticket removably in place at tghe slots.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereto set my hand, this 18th day o't Bday, 1923.
JOHN G. KING.
